iphone crash due to stupidity

[iphony221]

i have an unlocked iphone 3g i used the hide icons option to hide ALL my icons like an idiot. when the device attempted to apply this it stayed on the loading screen for a while then crashed and now i'm getting the apple of death until it reboots itself for all eternity. i have tried hard and soft reboots and nothing works. any wisdom?

It sounds like you are going to have to restore. Is your computer recognizing the iPhone?
